I’m working on a environmental science question and need guidance to help me understand better.
Listen to this lecture from Dr. Kevin Trenberth from NCAR

- How does Dr. Trenberth use the bell curves of temperature to explain extreme heat events?
- True or False: When we compared the number of days of hot records with the number of days of cold records in 2010, 2011 and 2012, we see higher ratios along time.
- What is the “air conditioner” of Earth?
- How does relative humidity over the ocean change with increasing temperature? How does the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere change?
- Use your words to explain: Why global warming can lead to both heavy rain and drought at the same time?
- Use your words to explain: Why increasing the global average temperature by 0.85 C (seems very small, right?), it can influences our everyday life?
